"Nordic Security in a Changing European Context"
KAS Nordic Countries Autumn Conference
As Europe faces a rapidly evolving security environment – one that is shaped by renewed geopolitical tensions, hybrid threats, energy insecurity, and the ongoing repercussions of Russia’s war in Ukraine, among others – there is an urgent need to strengthen collective responses and strategic resilience. In this context, the Nordic countries play a pivotal role in safeguarding Europe’s Northern boundaries, including by contributing to NATO’s deterrence in the North and by occupying a crucial role in the broader European defence architecture. This first Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung Nordic Countries´ Autumn Conference aims to inspire dialogue, foster new partnerships, and explore ways to strengthen European security. We will convene politicians, leading experts, policymakers and security analysts to examine Europe’s most pressing security challenges. With a focus on the Nordic region, the conference will discuss how to improve regional cooperation, strengthen strategic foresight, and find effective ways to enhance security. The conference will also dive deeper into how Germany can contribute to shaping and supporting a comprehensive security strategy that integrates both Nordic and broader European perspectives.
Evaluating the German Elections Results
How did Germany vote 2025? – A KAS Nordics Roundtable
The coalition of Social Democrats (SPD), Free Democrats (FDP) and Greens ruling Germany since 2021 collapsed in November 2024. With the election results now in, it is time to consider the possible coalition constellations, tease apart the key themes driving voters, and to analyse possible shifts in voting behaviour. Germany is the EU´s largest economy and most influential member state. For the Nordic countries, it is a key partner in trade and security politics. Thus, the outcomes matter not only for the German population and the country´s economy but also for the future of the European Union, Ukraine, and Northern Europe. To evaluate and discuss the outcome and its consequences for Northern Europe and the EU, the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung-Nordic countries invites you to a roundtable discussion.
